GREETINGS FROM THE GOVERNOR
It is with pride and enthusiasm that I invite your participation in the
85th annual State Fair,
With larger and finer facilities for your service and pleasure, the
State Fair enters still another interesting and exciting era in 1952. Com-petition
in certain livestock and other departments is being opened this
year to "The World. " We welcome our friends and neighbors from outside
the borders of North Carolina to share with us our annual fall festival of
progress in agriculture, industry, commerce, education, and the cultural
arts. May all who participate in the Fair, as exhibitors and as spectators,
be enriched by the opportunities to renew old acquaintenances, make new
ones, exchange ideas, gain new knowledge, and enjoy the many inspirational,
recreational, and entertainment features.
As I prepare to return to the ranks of private citizens, I recall my
first participation in the State Fair more than half a century ago, as a boy
exhibiting a few ears of popcorn, I pledge my continued interest and
patronage of the Fair and commend it to others as the greatest of all annual
get-togethers in North Carolina for a reflection of the yesterdays, the ac-complishments
of today, and the trend of the tomorrows in our State.
Finally, I salute those who have joined with us in making the State
Fairgrounds a year 'round meeting place for men, women, and the youth
to mirrow their individual and group accomplishments, and a panoramic
center of the inexhaustible resources of North Carolina.
Sincerely,
nr^^^^Mt^^^^
W. Kerr Scott, Governor
Bcparhtwnt of Agrirulfatrt

be available for your use, convenience and enjoyment during Pair
Week. These will include the beautiful new livestock Judging and
exhibition arena, the fine new Youth Center, other new and modern-ized
buildings, added outdoor exhibit and display space, and
greatly enlarged, more accessible parking lots. I know that all
these and the other vast improvements will meet with your enthus-iasm,
especially as they will afford the State a year-round edu-cational.
Inspirational and recreational center.
Even more important to the Pair itself are the additions and
revisions made in the premium lists to make the friendly competi-tion
a more comprehensive portrayal of the wealth of North Caro-lina'
s soil and the creative and productive capacities of her
people. More than ever before, the State Fair will be a magnifi-cent
show window through »^ich the people of North Carolina can
profit from the experiences and achievements of each other.
We want the Pair to be a lot of fun for everybody... a place
to relax... a milestone of progress... a festival of the facts that
make North Carolina the "No. 1 State in the South"... a meeting
place for the exchange of information and ideas.
This is, therefore, a warm and cordial invitation to partici-pate
in the 1952 State Fair, as an exhibitor and as a spectator.
Enjoy the simple and honest nelghborllness which this event fosters
•

Special Premium Offer:
THE NORTH CAROLINA STATE FAIR
^aluteAt
COMMINITY, COUNTY, SECTIONAL AND REGIONAL FAIRS
Realizing that the success of the State Fair depends to a great extent
on the support and successes of the Community, County, Sectional and
Regional Fairs held throughout North Carolina, the Management of the
State Fair makes the following offer to encourage other fairs:
1. THE STATE FAIR WILL PAY TWICE THE PREMIUM WON AT
A COMMUNITY, COUNTY, SECTIONAL OR REGIONAL FAIR FOR AN
OUTSTANDING EXHIBIT BROUGHT TO THE 1952 STATE FAIR,
providing:
(a) Such exhibit is approved by a committee of three persons: (1) a
representative of the State Fair: (2) a representative of the N. C.
Department of Agriculture; and (3) the Manager of the Com-munity,
County, Sectional or Regional Fair;
(b) Such premium to be paid by the State Fair does not exceed $200;
(c) The exhibit does not require more than 100 square feet of dis-play
space;
(d) Application for entry of such an exhibit at the 1952 State Fair
is signed by the local Fair Manager and submitted prior to
October 8, 1952, and such application includes complete informa-tion
as to the type and size of the exhibit (with a photograph,
if possible), the prize won at the local Fair, and the name and
address of the exhibitor;
(e) Unless unusual circumstances prevail, where the exhibit would
not be eligible for or would not normally be entered in the
State Fair, individual and/or group entries of livestock and
poultry are not eligible for this special State Fair premium offer.
2. WHERE THE NATURE OF THE EXHIBIT REQUIRES THAT IT
BE ACCOMPANIED TO THE STATE FAIR BY THE EXHIBITOR FOR
THE PURPOSE OF ARRANGEMENT OR DEMONSTRATION, THE
STATE FAIR WILL PAY THE TRAVEL EXPENSES OF ONE PERSON
FROM HIS OR HER HOME TO RALEIGH AND RETURN, providing:
(a) Such travel expenses will be paid on the basis of seven (7) cents-per
mile.

FAIR, P. O. BOX 1388, RALEIGH, N. C, and they will be carefully handled,
officially entered, tagged, and otherwise treated in the same manner as
previously described. They will be given the same consideration with regard
to display and judging as exhibits personally delivered.
All exhibits shipped or mailed MUST BE PREPAID. No transportation
charges for express, postage, freight or drayage will be paid by the Fair.
Shipments should be carefully labeled, accompanied by a bill of lading, and
properly identified inside and outside the package as to the department, class
and premium number under which they have been previously entered. They
should be shipped or mailed at least a week or 10 days prior to the opening
of the Fair. The management will not be responsible for delayed shipments
which arrive at the Fair too late to be considered in the judging.
All carload shipments by freight, for exhibition purposes, should be billed
as follows: FOR EXHIBIT, N. C. STATE FAIR, CAMP POLK, N. C, %
S.A.L. RAILWAY, Exhibits so billed will be delivered to the Fairgrounds
without extra switching charges. Attention of exhibitors is called to tariff
rules, governing the shipment of certain types of articles for exhibition at
expositions and fairs, and providing for free return of such exhibits when
accompanied by a certificate from the Manager of the Fair certifying that
such shipment was on exhibition and ownership of same has not changed.
Intending exhibitors should consult their local freight agent for particulars
governing Fair shipments, as some types of exhibit material are not returned
free and other conditions enter in if shipment is not returned direct. If your
local agent is not able to give you full particulars, write the Manager of the
State Fair.
Division and Department Superintendents and Directors will have full
authority over allocation of space, and will have direct supervision of all
exhibits which are considered on exhibition as a part of the Fair's attrac-tions,
subject to use as these Superintendents and Directors see fit to add to
the educational values of the Fair. Livestock able to be led or driven, or
which will follow, musi participate in parades and group exhibitions as
directed by the Department Superintendent.
All livestock must be cared for by the exhibitor. Stalls and pens will be
bedded before the Fair, free of charge. Thereafter exhibitors will be required
to furnish their own bedding and keep all stalls and pens clean. Feed and
straw will be sold on the grounds at prevailing prices.
When exhibit tags are issued by the Entry Department for each article or
animal entered, a stub with a duplicate number will be given the exhibitor to
serve as his claim check to recover and secure the release of his exhibit. This
claim check may be presented to gain free admission to the Fairgrounds on
Saturday, October 18, 1952, the closing day of the Fair. Claim checks should
be guarded carefully, since Department Superintendents and Directors are
not allowed to release any exhibit without presentation of the exhibit tag
stub. If the claim check is lost, such loss should be reported promptly and it
will be necessary for the exhibitor to furnish the Director of the Entry De-partment
proof of ownership of the article or animal on exhibit.
Exhibits entered in the premium classes which are not claimed within one
week after the close of the Fair will be considered to have been abandoned
by the exhibitor and will be disposed of as the Manager of the Fair sees fit.
Other exhibits, and materials therein, including concession booths, which are
not claimed by the exhibitor or concessionaire within 30 days after the end
of the Fair will be considered to have been abandoned and will become the
property of the State Fair.

a V-C Agent to show you some V-C Fertilizer. Look at the
rich color of this properly-cured, superior blend of better plant
foods. Run yovir hands down into the smooth, mellow mixture and
let it poiu: through your fingers. It's mealy, loose and dry.
V-C Fertilizer is famous for its crop-producing power and ita
easy-drilling quality. It flows through fertilizer distributors smoothly
and evenly with no caking, clogging or bridging.
The better plant foods in V-C Fertihzer are carefully selected
and proportioned to become available according to the feeding
schedule of the crop. That's why a V-C crop gets off to an early
start of rapid growth . . . and then stays on the job, green and
growing, vigorous and productive.
V-C Agronomists use Experiment Station and Extension Service
recommendations and practical farm experience in determining
the right V-C Fertilizer for each crop.
Every bag of V-C Fertilizer has behind it the research, skill,
experience and resources of a national organization which has
manufactured better fertiUzers since 1895.
You will know why so many farmers prefer V-C Fertilizer when
you see what a big difference this better fertilizer makes in crop
3delds and crop profits.

The Fair management reserves the right to reject any exliibit which does
not reflect merit and which would not be a credit to both the exhibitor and
tlie Fair. Also, the right is reserved to reject exliibits wliich are deemed
objectionable or unsuitable for exhibition. All entries are accepted condition-ally,
pending inspection of the article or animal to be exhibited. Any article
or animal which proves to be misrepresented or falsely classed will be reject-ed
and the right of the exhibitor to further participation in the Fair will be
denied.
Promiscuous advertising is strictly prohibited. Exhibitors may advertise
and distribute literature and free samples from their place of exhibit only,
but may not sell any article or animal from their exhibit space without a
permit from the Manager. The distribution of advertising matter which con-flicts
in any manner with a concession sold by the Management is prohibited.
Commercial exhibitors and concessionaires are responsible for keeping the
space in and around their exhibits, including unused space, aisles and road-ways,
clean and free of rubbish.
No exhibit space assigned may be shared or sub-let without permission of
the Fair manager.
Exhibitors and Department Superintendents and Directors may have the
exclusive use of the lawn in front of the Educational and Commercial exhibit
buildings for parking until midnight, Monday, October 13, 1952. Special
parking facilities for the Livestock and Poultry Divisions will l)e provided
this year at the west end of the Fairgrounds.
JUDGING AND AWARDS
Decision of the judges will be final, and no appeal will be considered except
in cases of protest in writing, with strong evidence of fraud or violation of
the rules of the Fair. Protests must be filed with the Division Superintendent
not later than noon of the day following the award, and must be accompanied
by a protest fee of $5.00 which will be retained by the Fair if the protest is
not sustained. The Division Superintendent will appoint a committee to
consider the protest and all interested parties will be notified of the time of
the hearing and will be given an opportunity to be heard. The rules of the
International Association of Fairs and Expositions governing appeals will
be those of the North Carolina State Fair.
Judges will not award premiums to any article or animal because of its
mere presence. It must be individually worthy. It is not the policy of the Fair
to encourage indifferent production of any kind, or to distribute premiums
equally among exhibitors. No premium will be awarded to any exhibit that
does not possess high intrinsic merit.
Unless otherwise specified in the Department Rules and Regulations, NO
EXHIBITOR MAY WIN MORE THAN TWO PREMIUMS IN ANY ONE
INDIVIDUAL CLASS, AND NOT MORE THAN ONE PREMIUM IN ANY
GROUP CLASS.
No exhibitor may accompany judges during their deliberations except such
attendants as are necessary to handle and show livestock and other such
exhibits. Any exhibitor attempting to interfere with the judges during their
adjudications, or who publicly expresses disapproval of the decision of the
judges, will be excluded from further competition and any premiums previ-ously
won will be forfeited.

Fraud or deception as to breeding, or in any ottier form, will be exposed
and the exhibitor guilty of such violation will be excluded from further
participation in the Fair, and all premiums previously won will be forfeited.
Premiums will be paid only on the basis of the records of the judging
reports, which will be signed by the judge and by the Department Superin-tendent
or Director. Ribbons will be securely attached to the articles upon
which they were awarded, if possible, but the ribbons have no value in the
payment of premiums since they may become detached and find their way
on to the wrong exhibit.
Entries made in wrong classes may be reclassed by the Department Super-intendent
or Director, BUT ONLY IF SUCH RECLASSIFICATION IS MADE
IN THE OFFICE OF, AND WITH THE APPROVAL OF, THE DIRECTOR
OF THE ENTRY DEPARTMENT. Records must be changed when entries
are reclassed. If the records are altered and the entry department files are
not changed, premiums will be withheld.
Judges, when requested, may give the reasons for their decisions embracing
the value and desirable qualities of the exhibits to which they have awarded
premiums.
Judges will not award premiums or ribbons to any article or animal that
does not qualify for one of the classes in the State Fair Premium List.
Premiums will be paid to winning exhibitors as soon after the awards are
made as it is possible to compile and check all reports. Premiums not collected
during the Fair will be mailed to the exhibitor at the post office address given
on his entry form. Errors in premium statements will be corrected until
December 1, 1952, after which time the books of the 1952 Fair are closed.
The following colors of ribbons will be used to designate awards:

REISSUE PATENT NO, 22.221: DATED NOV. 10. 1942
Mayo user wins State
Fair Tobacco Awards!
AIR-CONDITIONING IS THE REASON MOST
PROGRESSIVE FARMERS CHOOSE FLORENCE-MAYO
* Because the air is brought into
the barn directly over the flame under
the hood, or heat spreader, the air
is properly heated, or "conditioned"
before being released up through the
tobacco.
•k Air Conditioning means Better
Quality and lower curing costs. Air
Conditioning eliminates "hot" and
"cold" spots. It reduces "sponging."
Ask the farmers who use Florence-
Mayo!
Other manufacturers have made Air-
Conditioning Curers, but courts of
law stopped them because they in-fringed
the Mayo Reissue Patent No.
2 2221. Only Florence-Mayo can make
an Air Conditioning Tobacco Curer as
illustrated above.

As a new feature of the North Carolina State Fair in 19 52, this de-partment
is being devoted to the United Agri'^ultural program through
which North Carolina has accepted "THE CHALLENGE" for: (1) In-creased
Per Capita Income; (2) Greater Security; (3) Improved Educa-tional
Opportunities; (4) Finer Spiritual Values; (5) Stronger Community
Life; and (6) More Dignity and Contentment in Country Living.
The North Carolina Board of Farm Organizations and Agencies, which
is sponsoring "The Challenge Program", has invited five counties to
arrange and present exhibits depicting their programs for Better Farming
and Better Rural Farm Living. These counties, one from each of five
areas established for the program, are:
AREA 1—Haywood County. AREA 4—Rockingham County.
AREA 2—Cleveland County. AREA 5—Pitt County.
AREA 3—Pender County.
The five counties were invited on the basis of recommendations of the
district representatives of the following organizations and agencies which
comprise the North Carolina Board of Farm Organizations and Agencies:
N. C. Department of Agriculture, N. C. Department of Conservation and
Development, N. C. Farm Bureau Federation, Farmers Home Administra-tion.
Production and Marketing Administration, Division of Vocational
Teaching of the N. C. Department of Public Instruction, N. C. Rural
Electrification Authority, Soil Conservation Service, the State Grange,
and the Agricultural Experiment Station and Agricultural Extension
Service of N. C. State College.
To encourage this United Agricultural Program, the State Fair offers
the following cash awards to the five counties for the best exhibits, cen-tered
around one or more of the objectives of the program, showing how
the county, or one of its communities, is meeting and plans to further
meet "THE CHALLENGE".

Tobacco Grading Contest
Teams of 3 members and an alternate representing 'f-H Clubs, Future
Farmers of America, and New Farmers of America eligible to compete.
IndividuAils who have had experience in commercial grading of tobacco are
not eligible to compete. Teams will be trained and entered by Co^mty Farm
Agents, Assistant Farm Agents, or Vocational Agriculture Teachers.
The Contest—-Will consist of a series of samples of tobacco representative
of various tobacco grades. These samples are to be graded (not sorted)
according to U. S. Standard Grades by the three members of the team
participating.
Object^To improve understanding of growers regarding the characteristics
making up the various groups, quality and colors which constitute the
Government grades of tobacco; to encourage a more careful study as to how
far the grower should go in sorting the crop for the most satisfaction on the
market; to emphasize the importance of taking advantage of grading as
an aid in marketing the crop. For example, the support price is based on the
grade; therefore, it is important for the grower to sort his crop so that
tobacco will earn the highest support price possible.
Training—Tobacco growing, sorting and marketing experience, plus a study
of "Official Standard Grades for Flue-Cured Tobacco (U. S. Types 11, 12, 13
and 14)" dated August 1936 and "Official Standard Grades for Burley Tobacco
(U. S. Type 31)" dated December 1945 will help prepare individuals for
participation in this contest.

Fair. Be sure to fill in the application form completely, accurately and legibly.
Give your rural route number, post office box number, or city street address.
List the Department Letter ("G" for Horticulture Products) and the
Class Number ("1" for Fruits or Nuts, "2" for Vegetables, and "3" for
Plants or Flowers) for which each entry is made. Also, list the premium
and the description of the article, exactly as shown in the Premium List.
If entries are received sufficiently in advance of the Fair to permit
mailing. Entry Tags will be forwarded to exhibitors at their home address.
Otherwise, these Entry Tags should be picked up at the Entry Depart-ment
immediately upon arrival on the Fairgrounds. An Entry Tag must
be attached to each exhibit before it is presented in the Department for
display.
As far as possible, it is urged that all Horticulture Products be brought
in and set up by the exhibitor. Where it is not possible, shipments should
be made in time to reach the Fairgrounds not later than Monday, October
13, 1952, and should be addressed to: Superintendent, Horticulture De-partment,
N. C. State Fair, P.O. Box 1388, Raleigh, N. C.
Where it is not possible to personally bring the products to the Fair
and arrange them for display, the Directors will be glad to arrange the
products in the most attractive manner possible. However, they will not
pack box, basket or barrel entries for exhibit. Exhibits mailed or shipped
to the Fair should be carefully labeled to show the name and address of
the exhibitor, and the nature, and class in which entered, of the contents
of the package.
The State Fair will furnish PLATES, ONE QUART CONTAINERS,
AND TRAYS for exhibits, but not baskets, boxes or barrels. The number
of specimens for each PLATE display is specified in the premium list.
Standard size trays, 11% xl8 inches inside measurements, and 3 inches
deep, will be used. Exhibitors should make a tray of the required dimen-sions
and pack the exhibit to determine the number of specimens required.
At least one extra specimen for each plate, and three or four extra speci-mens
for each tray, should be brought or shipped to the Fair to allow for
rot and damage in transit.
Fruits and vegetables to be exhibited in plates and trays should be
carefully wrapped and packed for shipment or transit to the Fair. Each
specimen should be wrapped separately in paper and packed firmly in
box or barrel, taking care to avoid bruising. Label each variety plainly
and put in paper dividers to keep varieties separated. Do not use hay,
fodder, excelsior or any other dusty material in packing.
58 North Carolina State Fair
Quality—Not Quantity
In selecting Horticulture Products for exhibit, choose only those
specimens that are of uniformly good quality, form and color, true to
type, and free from all insect and fungus blemishes, and free from cuts
and bruises. Premiums offered for the best collection of fruits or vege-tables
will not be awarded for a mere pile or for the greatest number of
varieties, BUT MAINLY ON THE BASIS OF QUALITY. Do not knock
or shake fruit from the tree or vine, but pick each specimen by hand,
taking care not to pull out the stem. Products should be exhibited as
nearly as possible in their natural state, and no preference will be given
in the judging for highly polished fruits or vegetables.
Entries of Commercial Baskets of apples and sweet potatoes should
be graded to uniform marketable size, high color, smoothness, trueness
to type, freedom from cuts and bruises, and free from insect and fungus
blemishes. They should be properly packed and faced in standard bushel
baskets.
Entries of "Collections" and under "Any Other Variety" must be cor-rectly
named, if possible, by the exhibitor. In the nomenclature of fruits,
the names adopted by the American Pomological Society shall rule, and
no variety will be accepted that has not been admitted to their catalogue,
except in the case of seedlings never before exhibited.
Awards and Judging
No awards will be made for unworthy specimens, where quality Is
lacking, or where any of the Rules and Regulations governing these
exhibits are disregarded. EXHIBITORS ENTERING PRODUCTS WHICH
HAVE BEEN SHOWN BEFORE AT OTHER FAIRS WILL BE PENAL-IZED
BY THE JUDGES.
No article entered for competition in any class will be permitted to
compete for a premium in any other class. AN EXHIBITOR CANNOT
COMPETE FOR MORE THAN ONE PRIZE IN ANY CLASS.

MISCELLANEOUS
This class is for the purpose of stimulating new interest. Dish gardens
may be arranged on plates, platters, trays or dishes of any reasonable size.
They will be judged on the basis of the craftsmanship of the exhibitor,
the artistic qualities of the exhibit and the quality of materials used. The
exhibit may represent Japanese gardens, landscapes, farms properly plant-ed,
homes or any other feature. Plant materials should predominate, but
any kind of material can be used. To the extent necessary materials such
as mirrors, rocks, ornaments, wood, etc., may be used. It is suggested that
the exhibitor limit his exhibit to reasonable size and no exhibit should
have any dimension greater than 24 inches.
The foregoing suggestions apply also to terrariums. The type of exhibit
desired in this class is much like the dish gardens, except that slightly
different materials should be used, the materials being placed inside a
glass container covered for the purpose of maintaining moist conditions
and plants preferring such moist conditions, such as mosses, ferns, etc.,
should be used. Credit will be given by the judges to the craftsmanship,
the condition of plant materials, the number of kinds in the exhibit, and
the general artistic values of same. These exhibits should have unity,
variety, propriety, coherence and finish.

Under the entry for meritorious novelty or floral exhibit any plant or
flower or other related novelty can be exhibited. Each will be judged
first as to its merit or quality in such a class and if considered meritorious

premium number. Exhibitors will be allowed not more than two entries under
any one premium number.
No exhibit will be eligible which was painted, drawn, modeled, photographed
or produced prior to October 15, 1951. This rule will be enforced to prevent
the display of materials or objects that have previously been exhibited at
the State Fair.
No modeling in soft or unbaked clay will be accepted.
Pictures must be properly matted or framed, and if framed must be wired.
All Photographs must be mounted on a mat 16 x 20 inches.
In order to have a Fine Arts exhibit of a high standard, the Jury (judges)
will pass upon the work entered to eliminate entries which are poorly done
and to decide that entries conform to all regulations. Only work acceptable
to the Jury will be displayed.
In the placing of awards, quality and originality of work will be the leading
factors. No copies will be considered or placed on exhibit. If entries are not
of merit, even though they are the only entries in that particular class, judges
retain the right to make no award in the class.

State Fair enters still another interesting and exciting era in 1952. Com-petition
in certain livestock and other departments is being opened this
year to "The World. " We welcome our friends and neighbors from outside
the borders of North Carolina to share with us our annual fall festival of
progress in agriculture, industry, commerce, education, and the cultural
arts. May all who participate in the Fair, as exhibitors and as spectators,
be enriched by the opportunities to renew old acquaintenances, make new
ones, exchange ideas, gain new knowledge, and enjoy the many inspirational,
recreational, and entertainment features.
As I prepare to return to the ranks of private citizens, I recall my
first participation in the State Fair more than half a century ago, as a boy
exhibiting a few ears of popcorn, I pledge my continued interest and
patronage of the Fair and commend it to others as the greatest of all annual
get-togethers in North Carolina for a reflection of the yesterdays, the ac-complishments
of today, and the trend of the tomorrows in our State.
Finally, I salute those who have joined with us in making the State
Fairgrounds a year 'round meeting place for men, women, and the youth
to mirrow their individual and group accomplishments, and a panoramic
center of the inexhaustible resources of North Carolina.
Sincerely,
nr^^^^Mt^^^^
W. Kerr Scott, Governor
Bcparhtwnt of Agrirulfatrt
To the People of North Carolina:

Most of the expanded and improved facilities are expected to
be available for your use, convenience and enjoyment during Pair
Week. These will include the beautiful new livestock Judging and
exhibition arena, the fine new Youth Center, other new and modern-ized
buildings, added outdoor exhibit and display space, and
greatly enlarged, more accessible parking lots. I know that all
these and the other vast improvements will meet with your enthus-iasm,
especially as they will afford the State a year-round edu-cational.
Inspirational and recreational center.
Even more important to the Pair itself are the additions and
revisions made in the premium lists to make the friendly competi-tion
a more comprehensive portrayal of the wealth of North Caro-lina'
s soil and the creative and productive capacities of her
people. More than ever before, the State Fair will be a magnifi-cent
show window through »^ich the people of North Carolina can
profit from the experiences and achievements of each other.
We want the Pair to be a lot of fun for everybody... a place
to relax... a milestone of progress... a festival of the facts that
make North Carolina the "No. 1 State in the South"... a meeting
place for the exchange of information and ideas.
This is, therefore, a warm and cordial invitation to partici-pate
in the 1952 State Fair, as an exhibitor and as a spectator.
Enjoy the simple and honest nelghborllness which this event fosters
•
Your suggestions for making this educational and recreational fa-cility
grow in usefulness to the people of North Carolina on a year-round
basis will bo gratefully received.

THE NORTH CAROLINA STATE FAIR
^aluteAt
COMMINITY, COUNTY, SECTIONAL AND REGIONAL FAIRS
Realizing that the success of the State Fair depends to a great extent
on the support and successes of the Community, County, Sectional and
Regional Fairs held throughout North Carolina, the Management of the
State Fair makes the following offer to encourage other fairs:
1. THE STATE FAIR WILL PAY TWICE THE PREMIUM WON AT
A COMMUNITY, COUNTY, SECTIONAL OR REGIONAL FAIR FOR AN
OUTSTANDING EXHIBIT BROUGHT TO THE 1952 STATE FAIR,
providing:
(a) Such exhibit is approved by a committee of three persons: (1) a
representative of the State Fair: (2) a representative of the N. C.
Department of Agriculture; and (3) the Manager of the Com-munity,
County, Sectional or Regional Fair;
(b) Such premium to be paid by the State Fair does not exceed $200;
(c) The exhibit does not require more than 100 square feet of dis-play
space;
(d) Application for entry of such an exhibit at the 1952 State Fair
is signed by the local Fair Manager and submitted prior to
October 8, 1952, and such application includes complete informa-tion
as to the type and size of the exhibit (with a photograph,
if possible), the prize won at the local Fair, and the name and
address of the exhibitor;
(e) Unless unusual circumstances prevail, where the exhibit would
not be eligible for or would not normally be entered in the
State Fair, individual and/or group entries of livestock and
poultry are not eligible for this special State Fair premium offer.
2. WHERE THE NATURE OF THE EXHIBIT REQUIRES THAT IT
BE ACCOMPANIED TO THE STATE FAIR BY THE EXHIBITOR FOR
THE PURPOSE OF ARRANGEMENT OR DEMONSTRATION, THE
STATE FAIR WILL PAY THE TRAVEL EXPENSES OF ONE PERSON
FROM HIS OR HER HOME TO RALEIGH AND RETURN, providing:
(a) Such travel expenses will be paid on the basis of seven (7) cents-per

without extra switching charges. Attention of exhibitors is called to tariff
rules, governing the shipment of certain types of articles for exhibition at
expositions and fairs, and providing for free return of such exhibits when
accompanied by a certificate from the Manager of the Fair certifying that
such shipment was on exhibition and ownership of same has not changed.
Intending exhibitors should consult their local freight agent for particulars
governing Fair shipments, as some types of exhibit material are not returned
free and other conditions enter in if shipment is not returned direct. If your
local agent is not able to give you full particulars, write the Manager of the
State Fair.
Division and Department Superintendents and Directors will have full
authority over allocation of space, and will have direct supervision of all
exhibits which are considered on exhibition as a part of the Fair's attrac-tions,
subject to use as these Superintendents and Directors see fit to add to
the educational values of the Fair. Livestock able to be led or driven, or
which will follow, musi participate in parades and group exhibitions as
directed by the Department Superintendent.
All livestock must be cared for by the exhibitor. Stalls and pens will be
bedded before the Fair, free of charge. Thereafter exhibitors will be required
to furnish their own bedding and keep all stalls and pens clean. Feed and
straw will be sold on the grounds at prevailing prices.
When exhibit tags are issued by the Entry Department for each article or
animal entered, a stub with a duplicate number will be given the exhibitor to
serve as his claim check to recover and secure the release of his exhibit. This
claim check may be presented to gain free admission to the Fairgrounds on
Saturday, October 18, 1952, the closing day of the Fair. Claim checks should
be guarded carefully, since Department Superintendents and Directors are
not allowed to release any exhibit without presentation of the exhibit tag
stub. If the claim check is lost, such loss should be reported promptly and it
will be necessary for the exhibitor to furnish the Director of the Entry De-partment
proof of ownership of the article or animal on exhibit.
Exhibits entered in the premium classes which are not claimed within one
week after the close of the Fair will be considered to have been abandoned
by the exhibitor and will be disposed of as the Manager of the Fair sees fit.
Other exhibits, and materials therein, including concession booths, which are
not claimed by the exhibitor or concessionaire within 30 days after the end
of the Fair will be considered to have been abandoned and will become the
property of the State Fair.

a V-C Agent to show you some V-C Fertilizer. Look at the
rich color of this properly-cured, superior blend of better plant
foods. Run yovir hands down into the smooth, mellow mixture and
let it poiu: through your fingers. It's mealy, loose and dry.
V-C Fertilizer is famous for its crop-producing power and ita
easy-drilling quality. It flows through fertilizer distributors smoothly
and evenly with no caking, clogging or bridging.
The better plant foods in V-C Fertihzer are carefully selected
and proportioned to become available according to the feeding
schedule of the crop. That's why a V-C crop gets off to an early
start of rapid growth . . . and then stays on the job, green and
growing, vigorous and productive.
V-C Agronomists use Experiment Station and Extension Service
recommendations and practical farm experience in determining
the right V-C Fertilizer for each crop.
Every bag of V-C Fertilizer has behind it the research, skill,
experience and resources of a national organization which has
manufactured better fertiUzers since 1895.
You will know why so many farmers prefer V-C Fertilizer when
you see what a big difference this better fertilizer makes in crop
3delds and crop profits.

The Fair management reserves the right to reject any exliibit which does
not reflect merit and which would not be a credit to both the exhibitor and
tlie Fair. Also, the right is reserved to reject exliibits wliich are deemed
objectionable or unsuitable for exhibition. All entries are accepted condition-ally,
pending inspection of the article or animal to be exhibited. Any article
or animal which proves to be misrepresented or falsely classed will be reject-ed
and the right of the exhibitor to further participation in the Fair will be
denied.
Promiscuous advertising is strictly prohibited. Exhibitors may advertise
and distribute literature and free samples from their place of exhibit only,
but may not sell any article or animal from their exhibit space without a
permit from the Manager. The distribution of advertising matter which con-flicts
in any manner with a concession sold by the Management is prohibited.
Commercial exhibitors and concessionaires are responsible for keeping the
space in and around their exhibits, including unused space, aisles and road-ways,
clean and free of rubbish.
No exhibit space assigned may be shared or sub-let without permission of
the Fair manager.
Exhibitors and Department Superintendents and Directors may have the
exclusive use of the lawn in front of the Educational and Commercial exhibit
buildings for parking until midnight, Monday, October 13, 1952. Special
parking facilities for the Livestock and Poultry Divisions will l)e provided
this year at the west end of the Fairgrounds.
JUDGING AND AWARDS
Decision of the judges will be final, and no appeal will be considered except
in cases of protest in writing, with strong evidence of fraud or violation of
the rules of the Fair. Protests must be filed with the Division Superintendent
not later than noon of the day following the award, and must be accompanied
by a protest fee of $5.00 which will be retained by the Fair if the protest is
not sustained. The Division Superintendent will appoint a committee to
consider the protest and all interested parties will be notified of the time of
the hearing and will be given an opportunity to be heard. The rules of the
International Association of Fairs and Expositions governing appeals will
be those of the North Carolina State Fair.
Judges will not award premiums to any article or animal because of its
mere presence. It must be individually worthy. It is not the policy of the Fair
to encourage indifferent production of any kind, or to distribute premiums
equally among exhibitors. No premium will be awarded to any exhibit that
does not possess high intrinsic merit.
Unless otherwise specified in the Department Rules and Regulations, NO
EXHIBITOR MAY WIN MORE THAN TWO PREMIUMS IN ANY ONE
INDIVIDUAL CLASS, AND NOT MORE THAN ONE PREMIUM IN ANY
GROUP CLASS.
No exhibitor may accompany judges during their deliberations except such
attendants as are necessary to handle and show livestock and other such
exhibits. Any exhibitor attempting to interfere with the judges during their
adjudications, or who publicly expresses disapproval of the decision of the
judges, will be excluded from further competition and any premiums previ-ously
won will be forfeited.

Fraud or deception as to breeding, or in any ottier form, will be exposed
and the exhibitor guilty of such violation will be excluded from further
participation in the Fair, and all premiums previously won will be forfeited.
Premiums will be paid only on the basis of the records of the judging
reports, which will be signed by the judge and by the Department Superin-tendent
or Director. Ribbons will be securely attached to the articles upon
which they were awarded, if possible, but the ribbons have no value in the
payment of premiums since they may become detached and find their way
on to the wrong exhibit.
Entries made in wrong classes may be reclassed by the Department Super-intendent
or Director, BUT ONLY IF SUCH RECLASSIFICATION IS MADE
IN THE OFFICE OF, AND WITH THE APPROVAL OF, THE DIRECTOR
OF THE ENTRY DEPARTMENT. Records must be changed when entries
are reclassed. If the records are altered and the entry department files are
not changed, premiums will be withheld.
Judges, when requested, may give the reasons for their decisions embracing
the value and desirable qualities of the exhibits to which they have awarded
premiums.
Judges will not award premiums or ribbons to any article or animal that
does not qualify for one of the classes in the State Fair Premium List.
Premiums will be paid to winning exhibitors as soon after the awards are
made as it is possible to compile and check all reports. Premiums not collected
during the Fair will be mailed to the exhibitor at the post office address given
on his entry form. Errors in premium statements will be corrected until
December 1, 1952, after which time the books of the 1952 Fair are closed.
The following colors of ribbons will be used to designate awards:

REISSUE PATENT NO, 22.221: DATED NOV. 10. 1942
Mayo user wins State
Fair Tobacco Awards!
AIR-CONDITIONING IS THE REASON MOST
PROGRESSIVE FARMERS CHOOSE FLORENCE-MAYO
* Because the air is brought into
the barn directly over the flame under
the hood, or heat spreader, the air
is properly heated, or "conditioned"
before being released up through the
tobacco.
•k Air Conditioning means Better
Quality and lower curing costs. Air
Conditioning eliminates "hot" and
"cold" spots. It reduces "sponging."
Ask the farmers who use Florence-
Mayo!
Other manufacturers have made Air-
Conditioning Curers, but courts of
law stopped them because they in-fringed
the Mayo Reissue Patent No.
2 2221. Only Florence-Mayo can make
an Air Conditioning Tobacco Curer as
illustrated above.

As a new feature of the North Carolina State Fair in 19 52, this de-partment
is being devoted to the United Agri'^ultural program through
which North Carolina has accepted "THE CHALLENGE" for: (1) In-creased
Per Capita Income; (2) Greater Security; (3) Improved Educa-tional
Opportunities; (4) Finer Spiritual Values; (5) Stronger Community
Life; and (6) More Dignity and Contentment in Country Living.
The North Carolina Board of Farm Organizations and Agencies, which
is sponsoring "The Challenge Program", has invited five counties to
arrange and present exhibits depicting their programs for Better Farming
and Better Rural Farm Living. These counties, one from each of five
areas established for the program, are:
AREA 1—Haywood County. AREA 4—Rockingham County.
AREA 2—Cleveland County. AREA 5—Pitt County.
AREA 3—Pender County.
The five counties were invited on the basis of recommendations of the
district representatives of the following organizations and agencies which
comprise the North Carolina Board of Farm Organizations and Agencies:
N. C. Department of Agriculture, N. C. Department of Conservation and
Development, N. C. Farm Bureau Federation, Farmers Home Administra-tion.
Production and Marketing Administration, Division of Vocational
Teaching of the N. C. Department of Public Instruction, N. C. Rural
Electrification Authority, Soil Conservation Service, the State Grange,
and the Agricultural Experiment Station and Agricultural Extension
Service of N. C. State College.
To encourage this United Agricultural Program, the State Fair offers
the following cash awards to the five counties for the best exhibits, cen-tered
around one or more of the objectives of the program, showing how
the county, or one of its communities, is meeting and plans to further
meet "THE CHALLENGE".
